Pietermaritzburg pianist, Christopher Duigan, plays a
selection of music by two of the greatest Romantic poet virtuosos of the piano,
Frederic Chopin and Franz Liszt, next weekend at the Music Revival venue and
the Tatham Art Gallery with a performance at St Agnes Church in Kloof on
February 25.
The programme will include the popular Ballade No 3, Waltz
in A minor, 3 Etudes from Op.10 by Chopin and a selection of music by Liszt
including the beguiling Concert-Etudes Un
sospiro and La Campanella.
A Steinway Artist and regarded as one of South Africa’s
leading concert pianists, Duigan has performed much of Chopin’s repertoire in
numerous concert performances and developed an affinity with the composer’s
unique pianistic style.
He was invited to play two programmes of Chopin works in
four performances at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown in 2010 on the
200th anniversary of the composer’s birth.
He was particularly inspired by a recent trip to Warsaw and
the Chopin Museum and will discuss some of his experiences n this presentation and
how they have influenced his approach to performing Chopin’s music.
